Answer from AI

The main keywords in Kotlin that are not in Java include:

  • val and var — for declaring immutable and mutable variables respectively.
  • fun — for declaring functions.
  • when — an extended version of switch.
  • object — for declaring singletons and anonymous objects.
  • data — for declaring data classes with automatically generated methods.
  • sealed — for creating restricted class hierarchies.
  • inline — for indicating functions that are compiled with inlining.
  • companion — for declaring companion objects, similar to static members.

These keywords make Kotlin more expressive and concise compared to Java.
